The Autism Shines Gala took place on August 23rd. Because of this event and its sponsors, lives have been changed for the better. Since its inception, the Autism Support of Alabama's community of supporters has come together to enjoy catching up with friends, networking and bidding on exclusive auction items to support families affected by autism. This year was no different. ASA knows that people and businesses like yours are community-minded, desire positive change and want to make a difference as autism prevalence continues to rise.
